He is being used mostly for the purpose of photoshoping his face and making memes, he originated being used in 2011 intended as being photoshoped in a forum know as facepunch (http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1124864) And some users made good editing and photoshop, unfortunately soon the thread became forgotten and lost.
